A leader in a Central Florida drug trafficking ring has been sentenced to 15 years in prison, the Florida Attorney General's office reported today.
Desmond Gordon of Lake County was charged with three counts of trafficking 400 or more grams of cocaine, trafficking more than 25 pounds of marijuana and dealing in stolen property.
Investigators learned about Gordon's involvement in the drug operation through wiretaps and undercover surveillance. State prosecutors are also prosecuting more than 40 other members of the drug ring.
The investigation was conducted by the Lake Net Task Force, which included the Lake County Sheriff's Office; the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Office of Statewide Prosecution.
Gordon, 29, forfeited six vehicles, several trailers and pricey car accessories.
Obviously, there are serious charges and require serious legal representation. If you face drug charges in Florida, call the law office of Arnold & New.
